Everybody Hates Chris: Everybody Hates Funerals (2006)
Everybody should LOVE This. . .
Just a glance at the cast list and you can see you are in for a treat. This show is always charming, funny and well-written. Now, add to it the bonus of Jimmy JJ Walker in his priceless turn as Rochelle's father and the Casting God has shined on this show once again. Loretta Devine as his wife is, as always, fantastic. It is always great to see this wonderful lady and with her recent appearances on Grey's Anatomy, this has been a very good season (for me, an admitted Loretta Devine fan!) To picture the woman she created as Rochelle's mother and to imagine her life as Jimmy's wife is almost as funny as the scripted material itself. This episode is another reason why Thursday nights belong to Chris and his Crew in my home.
The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)
Great Nostalgia!
I first saw this at a cinema with my best friend, we grew up with the Bradys and to be honest, I think for one to really enjoy this movie, you have to feel as if you are on the inside of an inside joke. The cast is terrific, Christine Taylor's homage to Maureen McCormick is phenomenal and watching the highs and lows of poor Jan, Jan, Jan is an absolute hoot! My only suggestion is to watch it with friends who will "get it." It elevates the whole film. Definitely one for the collection -- a keeper!This film was like cotton candy. very, very sweet -- it could give some a toothache. For me, it was a great retrospective of a part of my early life that I enjoyed immensely. Truly great fun!
